AVI USA’s DECEMBER 2024 MATCHING CAMPAIGN
During December, we double donations to Auroville projects. When someone donates to a project, we match the amount of the donation and the project gets double the money.
How are we able to do this? Because of several generous donors who provide the matching funds.
Matthew Andrews, AVI USA executive director, talks about the 2024 Matching Campaign and our work with Auroville in the clip above.
Total Funds raised by Auroville Projects, week 3 of our 2024 Matching Campaign!

Our Project Partners in Auroville
Over the past year, our Auroville partners have developed and applied principles from our AVI USA trainings. We are showcasing five of our partners who excelled in using the 2023 Matching Campaign as resource for their 2024 financial growth strategies.
We have EcoFemme, Auroville Dog Shelter, Thamarai, Sadhana Forest and Savitri Bhavan. These partners developed and experimented with new possibilities on our fundraising platform, including our P2P – Peer to Peer Fundraisers. The P2P fundraisers, in some cases, have accounted for more than 20% of their donations
We hope their growth will inspire you!
Help Us Keep the Matching Campaign Going until December 31!
Our 2024 December Matching Funds Campaign started with a Matching Donation Fund of $70,000.
This year our Auroville Partners have been more motivated and skilled at drawing in their support networks. As a result our Matching Funds were allocated by the beginning of the the third week.
New generous supporters have now contributed to the Campaign and we have additional funds to continue the match.
Help us keep this up, and exceed our goal of raising $300,000 this December!
This campaign is about more than just channeling funds to Auroville projects. It’s also about motivating projects to get involved in fundraising and develop their own sustainability.
Thank you for joining us to support Auroville projects!
On November 30, cyclone Fengal landed Auroville where hurricane force winds and massive rain accumulation, in some areas more than 50cm/18in within 24 hours, caused significant damage.
The cyclone damaged critical infrastructure, pathways, farms, houses and the loss of trees, as a conservative estimate, is in the several hundreds.
CONSIDER A GENEROUS DONATION TO OUR AUROVILLE PARTNERS IN THIS TIME OF NEED

Thank You from our Auroville Partners!
Outreach School Ashram Trip
We are touched and inspired by your generosity towards Outreach Summer trip to Nainital in 2024. The trip was a life time experience for all 36 students from surrounding villages studying at Isai Ambalam school and Aikiyam School.
Many thanks and gratitude to have made this possible. This would not have successful without the support of our kind hearted well wishers and love for the village kids. This was a unique trip for all the participants. We hope that such trips will be possible in the near future. Thank you once again.
EcoFemme
A huge thank you to all our supporters for the matching grant campaign. Your support last year really made a difference and enabled us to provide 1009 adolescent girls with cloth pad period kits and life changing menstrual education.
Sanskrit Research Institute
Deepest thanks to the incredible AVI USA team. The matching grant program this year helped us do a magical Sanskrit symposium in Auroville with people from 13 countries gathering around the flame of Vedic wisdom. We deeply appreciate the dedication and love from America.
Annapurna Farm
The fundraising campaign of AVI USA was a initiative which benefited both the donor and the project holder. Annapurna farm could continue its fence project which is badly needed to protect the farm from the increasing wildlife pressure. The farm could also build proper infrastructure for its paddy-ducks integration project which will improve rice production. We are grateful for the support received to be able to create a better farm for the future.
AuroOrchard
Our heartfelt gratitude to all the donors and AVI USA. Your contributions helped us during a particularly difficult time. With your help we have been able to cultivate new areas on the farm which is essential to maintain our food production to the community. Thank you for your support and trust in the farm and the team.
Youthlink
Thank you so much for your amazing support 💚
Because of you, we were able to offer 39 workshops and events to just over 3,300 people, making 2023 our most impactful and productive year yet! We are all super excited to see what we will be able to achieve moving forward and hope to have your continued support.
Much love from the YouthLink team.
Mohanam

Anitya
A heartfelt thank you to all our donors! This year, your generosity has enabled us to transform our shipping container from a storage room to a living space with two rooms. These spaces will allow volunteers to immerse themselves in our community lifestyle, discover the unique spirit of Auroville, and find time for personal reflection and growth. Your support has made a significant difference. Thank you for being a part of our journey!
Aurokiya Eye Care
Aurokiya extends heartfelt thanks for your generous support of the Matching Campaign. With your help, we provided eye care in Auroville and the surrounding bioregion through schools, workplaces, and village camps and touched over 1000 people. Together, we move closer to our vision of leaving no one blind in the community.
Kuilai Creative Center
Deep Gratitude to our dear supporters! We are very thankful to have you all with us. All your great support has been very, very helpful for us. We trust the Divine’s care is always there and showing real support in time through your donations. The AVI USA Matching Donation Campaign 2023 has been very special for KCC, one new supporter generously donated 5000$ for creating the Children Park at our KCC, that was so helpful because we received an extra 2500$ for the matching. We’d like to send very special thanks for this great donation
Ilion
The Ilion-Auroville team is very grateful to its donors! Donations enable us to continue our research, particularly on the Greek gods and the Argonauts, but also on the explanation of the Ilion poem, to offer lectures and workshops and to translate books.
Thank you for your support.
